"I'm lucky that I have been at one club, where I am surrounded by good players and a good manager," he said.

"It can be hard sometimes but I am still enjoying it. As long as that is the case I will carry on."

He added: "I still want to do well in every game, want to win trophies and my focus needs to be on that."

Giggs, who has won as many league titles as Arsenal (13), is out of contract at the end of the season and although he has also taken on coaching duties he wants to continue to play for as long as possible.

Should Giggs be offered, and sign, a new one-year contract it would take his stay at United to 24 years and could see him reach the landmark of 1,000 appearances for the Red Devils.

"If I'd moved from club to club I'd be finished by now," he added, as is the case with fellow 'Class of 92' members David Beckham, Phil Neville and Nicky Butt.

He has also outlasted Gary Neville and Paul Scholes who both retired after spending their entire careers at Old Trafford.

"I look after myself and try to train every day in order to make myself available for selection," added Giggs.
